It feels like the old days, with the Red Sox dropping a knee-buckling amount of money to snatch a superstar in his prime. So much for Boston’s brief experiment with (relative) fiscal restraint.

The Browns Need To Choose A New QB Again
Give the Browns this: for a team mired in a perpetual quarterback controversy, they manage never to have the same one twice.

Even ESPN Is Trying To Warn You About Tonight's Dreadful Ravens-Browns Game

Jerry Jones Says Rushing Tony Romo Back Was Worth it
Way back in September, when the Cowboys were 2-0 and looking like they could win a weak NFC East, Tony Romo broke his collarbone.
